Sam Smith‘s soulful voice manages to pack emotion into every single lyric. Add a dose of Christmas nostalgia to the mix and you have a perfect storm—except instead of rain, it’s tears. So. Many. Tears.
But rest assured, they’re the good kind! Listening to Smith’s rendition of Judy Garland’s holiday chestnut “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” performed on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, is a seasonal catharsis. Like a fine ice sculpture, it’s delicate, nuanced, and all-too-impermanent.
The 25-year-old “Too Good at Goodbyes” singer first covered the song in 2014, bringing it to No.

As the first season of his breakthrough acting gig as security officer Ashley Stubbs on HBO’s Westworld draws to a close, Australian hunk Luke Hemsworth has revealed how his younger (and taller) brother, Chris, helped bring his Hollywood dreams to life.
While Luke -- the eldest Hemsworth at 36 years old -- was acting long before Chris became Thor and Liam starred in The Hunger Games franchise, he sidelined his showbiz ambitions for the financial security of a flooring business. That is, until Chris opened his eyes to the potential for success as a full-time actor.

His new movie “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2” hits theaters later this month, and Liam Hemsworth is featured on the front page of the December 2015 issue of Men's Health UK.
The 25-year-old “Last Song” stud gushes over his friendship with co-stars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson- “What’s great about having made such good friends with Jen and Josh is that we’re able to share it all together and experience it as a threesome… You know, we’re really close. Really, close.”
Liam also spoke out against whoever hacked into Lawrence’s private files and posted her nude photos last year- “I just don’t understand how someone can do that to another human being. It’s the hugest invasion of privacy you can think of. She’s such a good person – such a good-hearted person – and for her to be put through that was unfair. It made me upset for her.

Further confirming his new romance, Liam Hemsworth made out with Eiza Gonzalez while out in Los Angeles on Tuesday (September 17).
The “Last Song” hunk took his Mexican main squeeze on a few errands before stopping to play tonsil hockey in a parking garage.
Miss Gonzalez, who previously dated Mexican businessman Pepe Diaz for two years, looked super sexy in a pink sports bra/short shorts combo as she enjoyed the warm embrace of her newfound Aussie hunk.
And Hemsworth sported his usual beard and displayed his Yankee pride with a blue ball cap while smooching up a storm.
Liam is definitely on the rebound after breaking off his engagement with pop singer Miley Cyrus over the summer, and it looks like he found the perfect nurse to help heal his broken heart!

The “Last Song” stud donned a black ball cap and green zip-up hoodie as he navigated his way to the baggage claim following his flight from New York City, where he promoted his new film “Paranoia” on “Good Morning America” and at the Apple SoHo store.
During his interview on Gma, Liam praised his “Hunger Games” cohort Jennifer Lawrence for staying grounded despite her huge level of success.
